[Her Between The Past And The Future]

Chapter 17

Heya, people!!! Just got the time to update despite of the situation.. took days tho. Hahaha

***

Having themselves on the way back to Teikoku, a figure stood from the shadows and watched the adults fade at the distance. He dose at his place and turned his head up at the window of Gouenji Shuuya's office. Had he saw it and he could not believe what they did to the magical stone he pusposely left.

They used it for quite an amusing one, he thought. He expected that they will use the stone for information, yes, but what he did not was they were to call a person so far away from here.

Loki wanted to burst out but he refrained from doing so. The boy inhaled deeply and leapt himself through the doors of every buildings back to the hideout. He for sure will be delighted.

Kirino seemed to not be feeling well while they await for Endou and a few others to come back, and while doing so the pink haired suddenly felt cold and the food he ate earlier were starting to rise up and was ready to spit out any moment. Right. This had been happening for quite awhile now, and yet, he still could not find the source of it. Damn.

Stomachaches, dizziness and throwing up. Just what was happening with his body. Was this an aftereffect, of what then? His attack maybe.. he guessed and thought of it as the best one among the others the pinkette would not say, not even think of it again.

A door opening made him come back from his thoughts. Kirino looked up and saw his coach along with the missing rest had finally came.

His feeling of throwing up instantly disappeared upon the arrival but his cold feeling increased. He let this go for now. The pink haired stood up with the rest of the team to greet the newcomers and did not go back to sit as they all saw the stern expression of them.

All have their brief conversation that the defender had not focused himself with. He also have his own chat with his mental state and made him not alerted with his surroundings. He did not realized that Kidou was calling him until the person beside him, which was Kariya, snapped a finger at his face.

"W–I'm sorry, what?"

"I've been calling you for awhile now and yet you're not answering. Kirino, are you okay?" Kidou asked him with no emotion on his face but the tone he used said otherwise. The latter neither moved nor said anything, however, he did after a minute by nodding.

"Yes. I'm sorry, just a little lost for  regain things." Kirino did not  lie, but he did not told  the whole truth either.

He wouldn't want anyone to sorry for him just as they were near the surface of the problem. And Kirino also wouldn't want for them to find out his secret he'd been hiding all this time. Not never, but not too soon. They will find out about it eventually. Just not the right time.

Kidou nodded. "Then better make it clear as soon as possible but do not exaggerate yourself." He continued after receiving a nod. "Now as I was saying, Kirino, the boy who attacked you and the team that day, do you now remember?"

Kirino tried remembering 'that boy' they always said about. But no face, not even a figure, appeared on his head. As if the attacker had intended to hide himself from them. Well, not exactly all of them, but one or two knew.

Rina interrupted by raising her hand.

"Um.." she muttered.

All attention was on her that made her nervous. She gulped, not liking this, she hated getting all the attention. Most likely with the people she just met.

"I think," she began. "I think, I may know who that person is.."

Hearing that perked up the interest of everyone there. She once again gulped nervously and looked for her brother through the crowd. Once she did, their eyes met and have a chat through brother-sister relationship — which was really weird to be honest — Kaito gave her a smile of encouragement and nodded for her to continue.

This will sure take awhile.

"Whoa whoa, wait! You're saying the two of you had contact with him just before attacking us and even destroyed our clubhouse. And also asked the two of you to watch over our dear captain, Kirino, over here. And by him, he's also the one that saved you five from the kidnappers! Are you kiddin' me?!?!" Midori yelled while holding the nervous Rina by the shoulders.

"You just summed up the whole story." Commented Kaito  but he was ignored by the manager. "You sure that he's the one??"

"I told you, I may know him, Midori-san. But Kinori Loki was the only one in my mind that suits the character." Rina answered through every shake the fiery manager had been doing to her.

No one stopped them from having their moment together. Everyone was left speechless and frozen on their spot after hearing the story. Even Kirino stood there with a lost face. How could he had not realized that?!

Though, what he's confused of was how would Kinori Loki, their savior, want someone to watch over him? Will Kaito and Rina abduct him and do horrible things in his body... What if they already did? What if his frequent vomits was the effect? What— okay, he needed to calm down. This was so not like him, he knew better than to panic.

Kirino breathed in and out to calm his nerves and saw that Kazemaru had stepped up to stop the two managers.

He then heard the adult asking, "Are you still in contact after that day?" But Finally shook her head no.

"We haven't been in touch ever since. Kaito and I only talked to him once, and that is the day of our agreement. We did not know that he's.... Like that. So we apologized for not telling sooner." The ash brown haired boy walked towards his sister and bowed together to emphasize they're sorry.

"It's fine. You told us now, did you not? Don't think about it." Endou assured the siblings with a grin. "But answer this, why did you agreed to something you still do not know the reason behind it without reluctance?"

This time, Kaito was the one to shook his head. "We did at first. But he made an offer that made us think otherwise." He spoke, looking everywhere but the eyes of the people. "And it would be great if you don't ask. It's personal matter. Sorry."

Endou nodded. Kidou and Gouenji trudged towards the brunette. "At least the question of "who" is now answered." Gouenji said with a half smile. "Thanks to the two of you."

"Uh, welcome, I guess..?"

Having that said, they continued their previous meeting, passing a possibility of here and there and having a slight of disagreement when something was not in the right place. Thus, their meeting ended when no progress was happening and just called it a day.

However, they did left something behind and that was why they weren't having their progress. Will they know of it or not?
